All BUMFACE want to do is trash this county. He is a socialist. He wants those of us that actually pay INCOME taxes to pay for everyone else. He can go to hell, and is committing treason!!!! He should be charged as such and when convicted receive the strongest penalty!!!!!!!!!!

Treason ?????????????????????. Time for you to get a dictionary and look up the definition. Naaaaaaaaaah I will do it for you since I can be reasonably assured that you read the definition if you respond to this post.

1. Treason, sedition mean disloyalty or treachery to one's country or its government. Treason is any attempt to overthrow the government or impair the well-being of a state to which one owes allegiance; the crime of giving aid or comfort to the enemies of one's government.

I would say the fits most that hold seats in Congress! Notice I didn't use the word, "serve".

I do remember once coming back from such an outing and finding that you had posted a couple of different messages many hours before asking why I wasn't responding. I don't remember if I posted anything, or went on to the next thread. If my facts are proven to be untrue, as HEW has done at least 1-2 times, I try to make a point of accepting the correction. If the retort seems better suited for the playground, I will generally ignore once the "heat of the moment" has passed.

Hell, Jeff, I don't remember which ones either. I tried to go back over old posts looking for examples but that proved to be a pain in the arse and even tho it's winter, I'm not bored enough to read over past posts. I just know that when someone offers a different opinion which you apparently can't disprove, you just seem to go away. That's okay. let's just agree to disagree.

We all agree Bush43 started the spending mess, that’s not the solution! Forget Dem or Rep, think about the consequences we will have to deal with! We are going to have to suck it up for several years. I know that’s not what the voters want to hear but, it’s the truth.Just look how our government suckered us into bailing out the Investment Banks!Those crooks walked with BILLIONS of our tax dollars!!! The Federal Government is out of control! That’s the problem, they’ve lost touch with reality."

DNF, Yardley's public defender. I didn't argue with his comments or questions. I only pointed out that he always pours out volumes of bullshit to differ with any opinion offered but when backed into a corner he (and you) disappear when you have no comeback. Perhaps you just become bored with a thread. Oh, I don't recall calling you any names other than Did Not Finish a few months back and I thought we hashed that out. Don't get so touchy. I'm just helping you kill some time between bed pans.

We had a choice?

Yes and no.

One has to ask if Bush43 implemented the first Wall Street bailout because;

A) It was election time and he was trying to help McCain win during a period when all we heard about was doom and gloom?

or

B) That x-Goldman Sacks officials have been controlling the Fed Reserve and Treasury since the Clinton administration, that they would take care of thier buddies at the expense of the tax payers?

That was why I put the word in quotes. At least on Comedy Central they don't pretend to be what they are not. Would the Fox News or MSNBC, or increasingly CNN, could say the same. In fact, various surveys have shown The Daily Show to be the primary news sources for younger adults. Is that bad? No, it's not bad; it's scary. The evidence suggests that it is not. Really? Why, because Daily Show viewers are more likely to vote with you? Using that logic I gather then that you think it's good that some people get their news from Bill O'Reilly? An Indiana University study showed that The Daily Show contained as much news substance as any of the major network news broadcasts, when a comedy show has as much news content as network news that's more of an indictment of network news than it is praise for Jon Stewart. Stewart doesn't even think of himself as a journalist. Gallagher uses ripe fruit to make people laugh. Carrot Top uses props to make people laugh (or not) and Jon Stewart uses politicians to make people laugh. The only difference between those three is that Stewart has better material to work with, but in the end they're all comedians. and a Pew Research poll ranked Jon Stewart as one of the most admired news anchors in the country, tied with Brokaw, Brian Williams, Dan Rather, and Anderson Cooper. See my "more of an indictment of network news..." from above (See http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/17/ar...on/17kaku.html and http://newsinfo.iu.edu/web/page/normal/4159.html)

I agree about the indictment of network news, although I include the cable channels in the same group. Sadly, there are only a few newspapers left that actually do reporting, and television seems to have decided that staged news is easier to manage and more entertaining -- Fox is winning that battle since it is now creating its own political movements. So yes, it is against that background that a comedian ends up being one of our better "journalists".
